It's sure nice to have a weekend with (mostly) nothing planned so I can sit and knit!  Neal and I went to dim sum on Saturday morning with my bro and Raine, so I brought a scarf to knit in the car on the way.  I was using OnLine Linie 79 Evita, a p

Adam's watch cap is done.  I hope I didn't make it too small - it fits me fine, and I have hair.   I like this yarn so much - it's the Filatura Zar One I made my very first hat from.  I ordered more of it yesterday, and I think I may make a beret

I finished one mitten in the potluck worsted yarn.  It turned out better than the first attempt, but I don't like the way the varigated colors come together at the seams.  And the thumb still isn't perfect, but it doesn't have the weird wart-pocket

I'm kinda tired and stressed, and I haven't had too much to say recently.I started a basketweave-pattern scarf for my BIL in red Mission Falls 1824 wool.  So much redness is a bit boring, but I plan to take it with me on the train to NYC.  And as a
